从文本到表的C＃.net数据挖掘

Question

Previously we used to get data on mail in the following format; we had to extract the important data parts from the text(body) of the mail and put it in a table.

 type         date               size

---

weekly    04/05/2012 16.03.03     388

I am capturing the value like this First by an array:

string[] orderOfValues = new string[3];
orderOfValues[0] = "TYPE";
orderOfValues[1] = "DATE";
orderOfValues[2] = "SIZE";

and then in dictionary

sdValues = new StringDictionary();

Then extracting the fields by splitting;

sdValues.Add("TYPE", field1);
sdValues.Add("DATE", field2);
sdValues.Add("SIZE", field3);

Now the upstream have changed the data to send multiple rows.

 type         date               size

weekly    04/05/2012 16.03.03     388
daily     04/07/2012 17.03.03     14
weekly    04/08/2012 19.03.03     643

Since the number of rows is now dynamic, please advice as to how to go ahead

Answer 1

OK, so you take that file, break it into fields and then write out the fields separated by a |.

Seems to me you need to go over each input line and do the following:

String[] parts = inputLine.Split(new char[] {' '}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
String outputLine = String.Join("|", parts);

Write the outputLines to your flat file. You don't need a dictionary.
